In 1819, Sir Thomas Raffles negotiated a treaty whereby Johor allowed the British to locate a trading port on the island. The Sultan of Johor is the sovereign ruler of the Malaysian state of Johor. It all was leading to the establishment of the British colony of Singapore in 1819. The port was strategically located along the main trade route between India and China. Singapore became an independent republic in 1965. Nowadays the country has become one of the world's most prosperous nations, with a highly developed free market economy and strong international trading links. Tourism in Singapore is a major industry and is the 5th most visited city in the world. Along with this, it also has one of the world's lowest crime rates. Public transport is easy when visiting Singapore. This includes the well-known Mass Rapid Transit system. MRT trains are fully automated without driver! Singapore is a green and clean city. It is also full of natural attractions and cultural heritage sites, from botanic gardens and nature parks to temples and museums. Chinatown is a small piece of China in the heart of Singapore. Once an enclave for Singapore’s Chinese immigrant population, the Chinatown of today is much-beloved for its blend of old and new, with historic temples and traditional medicinal halls sitting alongside hip new bars and lifestyle shops. Get high in Singapore, literally. 1 Altitude is an al fresco bar that sits atop the 282 metre high OUB Building which stands in Raffles Place, also known as Singapore’s financial district. You also can't miss the three monstrous towers of Marina Bay Sands which stand at the Marina Bay waterfront. Apart from the casino, the Marina Bay Sands also has a shopping mall, resorts, museums, theatres, an ice skating rink, and a Skydeck with an infinity pool.

Getting around Singapore by MRT (train) is simple. Singapore's public transport system is fast and efficient, and brings you to memorable attractions in no time. The United Overseas Bank building is prominently situated along the shoreline of Downtown Core. It's the financial hub of Singapore overlooking the spectacular Marina Bay. It is linked via an aerial mall and an underpass to Raffles Place MRT station which is just a 5-minute walk away. 1-Altitude bar & disco stands at an altitude of 282 meters and offers spectacular 360-degree views of Singapore. Located on the 63rd floor of One Raffles Place you feel on the top of the world. You can enjoy beautiful views and nightlife vibes.

In 1819 onderhandelde Sir Thomas Raffles over een verdrag waarbij Johor de Britten toestond een handelshaven op het eiland te vestigen. De Sultan van Johor is de soevereine heerser van de Maleisische staat Johor. Het leidde allemaal tot de oprichting van de Britse kolonie Singapore in 1819. De haven was strategisch gelegen langs de belangrijkste handelsroute tussen India en China. Singapore werd in 1965 een onafhankelijke republiek. Tegenwoordig is het land één van de meest welvarende landen ter wereld geworden, met een hoog ontwikkelde vrije markteconomie en sterke internationale handelsbanden. Toerisme in Singapore is een belangrijke industrie en is de 5e meest bezochte stad ter wereld. Daarnaast heeft het ook één van 's werelds laagste misdaadcijfers. Openbaar vervoer is eenvoudig tijdens een bezoek aan Singapore. MRT-treinen zijn volledig geautomatiseerd zonder machinist ! Singapore is een groene en schone stad. Het staat ook vol met natuurlijke attracties en culturele erfgoedsites, van botanische tuinen en natuurparken tot tempels en musea. Chinatown is een klein stukje China in het hart van Singapore. Het United Overseas Bank building is prominent gelegen in de Downtown Core. De 1-Altitude bar & discotheek staat op een hoogte van 282 meter en biedt een spectaculair 360-graden uitzicht op Singapore. Gelegen op de 63ste verdieping van One Raffles Place voel je je op de top van de wereld. Alleen al voor het uitzicht moet je hier naar toe als je in Singapore bent. Je kunt genieten van een prachtig uitzicht en het nachtleven. Ook kun je de drie monsterlijke torens van Marina Bay Sands die aan de waterkant van Marina Bay staan niet missen. Naast het casino heeft het Marina Bay Sands ook een winkelcentrum, resorts, musea, theaters, een ijsbaan en een Skydeck met een overloopzwembad.
